| Because users are lazy. What would you do without tab-complete?
To clarify : I like the tab function in bash, but I don't like
autocomplete. Don't like computers that tries to outsmart me and fails
horribly:)

| That COULD work.
yes perhaps it will. But at any rate it needs a lot of research, coding,
testing etc. It is not possible to do this over night. I therefore
encourage you to work on the idea. Try to get coders with you and make
something that can be demonstrated. If it is a Good Thing we can
include it in a later version of the Style Guide.
I think we should look at the current situation and make a styleguide
out of what we have and what can be done very easily/quickly. We
shouldn't base the styleguide on vaporeware that might work sometime
in the future.
It is always fine that people are creative etc, but I really think
that we need to get a foundation ready now which can be worked on and
improved on with time.
